"How do we feel about Shaun King"


          

I'm giving dude all kinds of side-eyes right now. He's already been accused of stealing money that was raised for Tamir Rice's family and now I'm questioning everything he writes. That story about the pickups with confederate flags at the black kid's birthday party? Shaun King was the only one calling them ARMED pickups. Last night and today, he's been hyping up these potential Cincinnati riots.

I legitimately don't think he's an activist. I think he's fanning the flames of the movement for personal gain.

gee whiz, i know it's from known sewer sites, but is it really possible for searching his name to autocomplete 'con man'???)

well, yeah, when you got organizations who fuck w/ ppl for a living or for fun. and the rw blog echo chamber can easily do something like this.

everybody clowned the dude who posted this diary. (think ?uesto's famous '1 post... pussy' reply).

i don't believe them. they need more (and better) people.

5. "Morehouse..."

that's how I feel.

Blind loyalty...until he does something fucked up (verified).

But seriously, he's a good dude. He's a little all over the place in his interests, but I consider him a friend and support him.

8. "I went to college with him"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

He was about this same life even back then, well over a decade ago.
I don't follow him now, though he pops into my timeline every now and then.

I will say that he is the real deal, in that he is someone who believes in what he is doing.

Went a couple times. He seemed genuinely passionate about activist shit. Feeding homeless. Embracing gays. Crying bout kids he met in Haiti. Think he tried to adopt one.

Could just be a consistent sham, but I assume his intentions are good. Thing about passionate activists is that they aren't always passionate about facts.

They're always poorly written, loose on facts, and amped up for maximum emotional outrage. Then the comments are just arguments.

There's another black writer (actually quite a few) on kos that's much better put together.

So I can't call it. He's pretty prolific with content quantity but loose on quality and it's shit for the site. Now whenever he posts something I just click the links.

...from our interactions he seemed like a genuine and good dude who just overextends himself and sometimes takes on too much....almost to the point of grandiosity...I can see how he could come across as a con to some...but i don't think he is.

lmao anyone who has met him would know how laughable that is. Wish he didn't even respond but understand why he did.

Like wake said above he's a genuine dude. Truly passionate about activism.
He was sga president at morehouse a year while I was there and win a somewhat surprising election. He wasn't apart of the typical sga crew and kinda came out of nowhere to win.

But yea he's always been about it whether I agree with everything he does or not.

They're accusing him of getting an Oprah scholarship intended for black men? I got that scholarship and never told anybody I was black. Completely false.

her problem was the deception and denials.

Rachel knew both of her parents are white and that she has no black ancestry yet she claimed otherwise.

hopefully Shaun hasn't been up to something similar.

again - mama can clear it up. if she told the man his daddy is Black and never gave him reason to believe otherwise and he hasn't seen any evidence that would reasonably lead him to conclude otherwise then IMO he hasn't deceived us where he's claimed Black identity. however, if that's not the case then....

fuck you.

In response to Reply # 75


          

that makes him black in my book.

https://www.facebook.com/CunninLynguists/posts/10152996462952617

Shaun King, my great friend of over 30 years, is under severe attack today. He is currently the number one trending topic in the world and everything his attackers are saying is a stone cold lie.

I've known Shaun since I was in the third grade. We both grew up in Versailles, KY. We both graduated from Woodford County High School. We were roommates while attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and we remain close friends to this day. Not only was Shaun beaten to a bloody pulp by a mob of students while we were in high school, my city of Versailles did everything it could to cover up and down play the event from the moment that it happened, as evidenced by half-assed police report and lack of news coverage at the time of the event.
All of this happened during a time where racial tensions were at extreme levels.

A student at my high school has recently shared his eye witness account and first hand perspective as a white student that grew up in my hometown of Versailles. PLEASE HELP SHARE HIS STORY!
To anybody from my city of Versailles that comes across this story, we should be MORE than vocal about it. During my time in high school, Versailles dropped the ball on how it handled EVERY instance of racial tension.

And to question his race? Since the third grade, Shaun has had to deal with whispers as to his racial make-up. Whispers that no adult helped him deal with or process. Yes, that includes his mother.
Shaun got called "Nigger" just as much, if not more, than myself or any of my black friends and family while growing up in Versailles. Do you think an 8 year old would volunteer for that type of treatment? A funny colored, wavy haired child just trying to navigate life? To have anything from racial slurs to cups full of dip-spit (chewing tobacco) hurled at you from confederate flag covered pick-up trucks? And then 20 years later have some right wing assholes question whether it ever happened and go as far as to call you a fraud and try to de-bunk years of social justice work that you've put under your belt?

We grew up in a town where white mothers were constantly dis-owned by their families for having relationships and making children with black fathers. Where even into the 2000's, the racial identities of mix-raced children were a taboo topic. Shaun was a direct victim of that. 20 years later, much progress has been made in my town of Versailles, but we are proving we have much further to go if people from my home town don't speak the fuck up.

With all the blatant instances of racism still happening in 2015, imagine what it was like 20 years ago in a rural Kentucky town with a population of less than 8,000. Imagine how a high school and police department would handle a potential "hate crime".

If this happened in the age of the internet, the story would have spread like wildfire, but 20 years ago, the systematic conditions were in place to sweep Shaun and his situation under the rug.
During those 20 months that Shaun spent time recovering, I was a constant presence at his bedside. Directly following the altercation and many more times over the years, Shaun had numerous spinal surgeries and is still in pain EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE.
He's told his story countless times, but rarely comments on the amount of pain that he is in on a DAILY.

The extent that news media will go to in order to discredit a soldier that's dedicated his life to fighting injustice sickens me.
If anything, his entire life of dealing with this mess is the REASON he fights for injustice. Why are these idiots too blind to see that?

Piss off

sound like on the forensics, mom dukes listed a white dude on the birth certificate, but somebody else mighta had tapped that.

seems odd that dude grew up and self-identified black if there was nothing to it.

unless his mom was hella ahead of the times, like, he don't play w/ dolls so i'ma start buying him dresses type ish.

is the daddy black or what?

but i'm not here for think-pieces telling me that the man was called 'nigger' as a boy and he got beat up by a gang of crackers in some Kentucky small town. so? none of that shit happened to me and i'm Black as a motherfucker. b/c both my parents are Black. and that shit has been known to happen to white folks who are down w/the Blacks ('nigger lovers', they call 'em).

so...is the daddy black or nah? simple question. mama can answer it.

So now you're demanding that he out his family secret. That's not cool. And it's not cool because that dude is clearly of African descent - we can see it. So why do we need him to be on that Cersei, walk naked through the town and confess your family sins thing?

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

1) I'm glad he does what he does regarding the police brutality stuff but I've always looked at him skeptically because he's prone to being hyperbolic about some of the incidents that may be questionable. I think we should judge him by his work and not his racial identity.

2) I always thought he was white until I saw his black kids and wife.

3) Breitbart smeared Shirley Sherrod and therefore anything that comes from their white supremacist outfit is automatically seen in a racist light. I question every piece of evidence they have regarding Shawn King's life and his family. The pictures they use, the police reports, the birth certificates, any interviews they may have done, I question them all. White supremacists have been declaring light skinned black people to be second class citizens for the past 300 years and I'm not about to feed into their thoughts on racial mixing. They don't know the half of how black people have tried to navigate this color line that they've set up.

the family secret - which I'm starting to think is not an internal family secret at all - which is that his bio father is a Black guy, but a white man was his official father.

I predict SK will confess in a few weeks that that man is not his biological father.

He really looks like he has African blood, to me.

... this post, but my instinct is to sympathize with him first.

It's bad enough having family secrets that're this deep apparently on
the verge of being aired out so publicly... without the extra element
of race, identity, AND politics layered on top.

Obviously, he was thrust into the limelight (because of his work against police brutality mind you), but this is still someone's life with real consequences to real relationships.

was doing this strictly freelance (hell, it's still freelance), i had him on my twitter.

and more than a few ppl, self included, reached out to dude to be careful because he posts and writes under his government. so before the mike brown ish really blew up he was already getting heat and folks testing him.

since then it has only multiplied by 1000.

him, deray and netaaa got targets on their backs. (and i'm sure i'm leaving out some others).

but the thing is, he got a wife and kids. best belee they been considering everything from character assassination to the regular variety for this dude.


it is REALLY interesting watching activism take root and spread within this generation and shape and be shaped by the tools at our disposal.

on some real shit, anyone trying to put in that work better be all the way tight on they p's and q's b/c lives and reputations are on the line and online all the time, and muhfuckas are NOT pulling punches.

In response to Reply # 102


  

          

killed last week. His mother and my uncle were married, had four kids, and divorced. She remarried and had, what I thought was, three kids with her new husband. Come to find out, that last one was actually my uncles biological child even though he was named as that other man's junior.

I grew up with him, always thought he was my cousin's half brother. My mother called me last week to tell me he had been murdered and referred to him as my uncles son. I was like "That's not Uncle's son, that's Joe's son." My mom was like "Naw baby that's your uncle's son she just didn't want everybody to know that"

WTF man! I hope he knew... I'm kinda thinking he did since he was always so close to our family.

Anyway, the things adults do to save face can fuck up they kids future in many ways.

Race, love, hate, and me: A distinctly American story

by Shaun King

Over the past 72 hours I have been attacked with lies by the conservative media, lies that have been picked up by the traditional media and spread further. I have kept silent at the advice of friends and mentors, but I will do so no longer.
The reports about my race, about my past, and about the pain I’ve endured are all lies. My mother is a senior citizen. I refuse to speak in detail about the nature of my mother’s past, or her sexual partners, and I am gravely embarrassed to even be saying this now, but I have been told for most of my life that the white man on my birth certificate is not my biological father and that my actual biological father is a light-skinned black man. My mother and I have discussed her affair. She was a young woman in a bad relationship and I have no judgment. This has been my lived reality for nearly 30 of my 35 years on earth. I am not ashamed of it, or of who I am—never that—but I was advised by my pastor nearly 20 years ago that this was not a mess of my doing and it was not my responsibility to fix it. All of my siblings and I have different parents. I'm actually not even sure how many siblings I have. It is horrifying to me that my most personal information, for the most nefarious reasons, has been forced out into the open and that my private past and pain have been used as jokes and fodder to discredit me and the greater movement for justice in America. I resent that lies have been reported as truth and that the obviously racist intentions of these attacks have been consistently downplayed at my expense and that of my family.

For my entire life, I have held the cards of my complicated family history very close to my chest. I preferred to keep it that way and deeply resent that I have been forced to authenticate so many intimate details of my life to prove who I really am. This, in and of itself, is a form of violence. The same sources who falsely reported my family history—including Breitbart, the Daily Caller, and The Blaze—have also falsely reported that my wife and I were never in a brutal car accident, that I lied about how many kids we have (we have 5 now, but have had more/less because we've fostered, adopted, housed many of our nieces and nephews), that I lied about my race to get a scholarship from Oprah, that I lied about how many back surgeries I’ve had, and more. All of those things were completely and totally false, but have simply been ignored at my expense. I don’t know why this shocks me, but it does.

Let me share some of my peculiar American story about race, my unwavering love for my mother, and my gratitude for an entire community of people who’ve walked with me through this for my entire life.

When I was 8 years old and in the second grade, black children first began asking me if I was “mixed.” In our house, my white mother, the sweetest woman ever and one of the best friends I’ve ever had, didn’t talk much about race. Most white families don’t. It’s part of the privilege. I didn’t even know what “mixed” was. This isn’t a secret. I’ve told this story publicly in front of thousands of people.

After that day when I was first asked if I was mixed, while I was still a very young child, kids and their well-intentioned parents began telling me they knew who my black father was, that I was so and so’s cousin, etc. This was in small-town Versailles, Kentucky, in the 1980s. It happened regularly for years on end. While I didn’t have an understanding of the national dialogue on interracial children, I knew even as a young child that what people were telling meant something very peculiar and unflattering about my mother. I was aware at how different I looked than my siblings, but didn’t understand DNA or genealogy. They were my family and I loved them.

I adored my mother so much then, that I just didn’t have the nerve to ever bring these things up to her. I was a child and loved our care-free relationship. She had been married and divorced several times and by the time I was in second grade she was raising my brother and me as a single mom. By the time I reached middle school, I fully identified myself not even as biracial, but just as black. Of course, that was an oversimplification of my story, but that was what made sense at that time. Adults who loved and knew me, on many occasions sat me down and told me that I was black. As you could imagine, this had a profound impact on me and soon became my truth.

Every friend I had was black, my girlfriends were black, I was seen as black, treated as black, and endured constant overt racism as a young black teenager. Never have I once identified myself as white. Not on forms, not for convenience or privilege, and not for fun and games, have I ever identified myself as white. I was never a white guy pretending to be black. Not once, ever, did it occur to me that I was being phony or fraudulent or fake. Quite the opposite—I always believed I was living the truest form of my self.

My freshman year in high school, another student and I got into a huge fight at a football game. The fight ended up setting off a powder keg of racial tensions at our school. The school paper back then referred to me as black and him as white. We were suspended for three days and while we were out, racial tensions boiled over so much that hundreds of white students staged a walkout because they had just been banned from wearing Confederate flags.

When I returned to school from that suspension, the collective anger of the racist white students was focused on me daily. Dozens of my close friends experienced this racist hate alongside me and it broke us down in the worst ways. I was consistently called nigger, spat on, had a jar of tobacco spit thrown in my face, forced into fights, and on two different occasions chased by pickup trucks attempting to maul us. In 2007, one of the students in one of those trucks wrote me a beautiful, moving apology for calling me a nigger and more on that scary dark night. I published it back then.

In March of 1995, it all boiled over and a racist mob of nearly a dozen students beat me severely, first punching me from all sides, then, when I cradled into a fetal position on the ground they stomped me mercilessly, some with steel-toed boots, for about 20 seconds. That day changed the entire trajectory of my life. Thankfully, multiple credible, unbiased eyewitnesses to this traumatic day have come out publicly and spoken on my behalf in the past 48 hours.

I had fractures in my face and ribs, but most badly damaged was my spine. I ended up having three spinal surgeries and missed 20 months of school over it. My entire family endured this deeply painful time in my life ranging from the surgeries, the brutal recovery, physical therapy, and professional counseling. It was rougher than my words will ever do justice. Many people have said that in the police report it listed me as white—as if I checked the box and that was some deep admission. Today, that officer admitted to the New York Times that I never said I was white, but that he assumed so when he saw my mother. He and the school badly mishandled my case. We sued the school system for years because of their mishandling of it. They fought it tooth and nail and my mother and I eventually just gave up on it.

Rev. Willis Polk, a local pastor, and my best friend's father, visited and prayed with me often during those surgeries. I became a Christian during my recovery. I was baptized and preached my first sermons as a high school teenage minister in the black church. Rev. Polk, his son Willis, and I toured HBCU’s together in 1996 and we knew that Morehouse College in Atlanta was the only place for us. We loved it.

Again, this wasn’t me sneaking into Morehouse as an undercover white man. I was 17 and my racial identity was fully formed. I knew who I was. I wasn’t appropriating or faking, but living out my life. During this entire time, my mother and I had an unspoken understanding about my race. Her past, in a sense, was taboo for me, and I had honestly moved on from even wanting to know the details of who she slept with in January of 1979. I sincerely didn’t care and had compartmentalized it deep in my mind and moved on the best I could.

To be clear, I received a full academic and leadership scholarship to attend Morehouse College based on my grades and my leadership skills. I love Morehouse. It helped me heal from the brokenness of my past and my very past friendships and bonds were formed there. When I was forced to leave Morehouse to have yet another spinal surgery, I lost that scholarship and was then offered a scholarship from Oprah Winfrey when I returned to complete my studies. She wanted it to be for “diamonds in the rough” and that was pretty much who I was at that point. I didn’t apply for it. Nobody does. The college selects brothers who need it and I was, very gratefully, chosen for it.

Since finishing Morehouse nearly 15 years ago, I have consistently and publicly shared my complicated story as an interracial child, facing the pressures of racism in an environment that lacked little intelligence or compassion about it. A part of this story has always been that I never chose to be black/interracial. Not only was it chosen for me by birth, but white students and staff fundamentally rejected me. Furthermore, the black community, my peers, their parents, and local black leaders, seeing that I was, in essence, a kid without a community, embraced me in the deepest, most soul-soothing ways. My wife, who has been with me since we were both in high school, has walked with me through this every step of the way and shared her story here earlier today.

Outside of my mother’s home, as a kid I lived a deeply black experience. Black families invited me to attend vacation Bible school. I attended black family reunions where old people would come up and pinch my cheeks and tell me who I looked like in their family. I went to black skate parties, black block parties/festivals, and did so not as a white intruder, but as a Karl Kani wearing, widely welcomed, light-skinned black kid. I soaked up every moment I had as I was fully, unabashedly loved, even doted upon, by black families throughout central Kentucky. It was a refuge for me and also a rite of passage of sorts. In high school I joined exclusively black achievers groups. With scholars I love and respect to this day at the University of Kentucky, I attended and helped plan King Day events, and just lived my life.

Until this past week, never has anyone asked me who my father was during these 35 years of mine. It occurs to me now that I’ve never asked anyone that question either. It’s an odd question, and, in my case, has a complicated, deeply personal answer, but one that I have actually seen lived out many other times. I have walked other people very close to my wife and I through what it is like to find out that the person you believed was your father actually isn’t. This is a pretty common thing.

I now see pictures of all of our young children, distant relatives, and even people who I am not actually related to spread across the internet in an attempt to shame us somehow. This is disgusting. I want to be clear. I love my family. I have never, not once, hidden or been ashamed of my family. They are my biggest supporters and defenders and always have been. Most of the pictures people have shared to prove that I am white actually came from my own social media accounts that I have shared to hundreds of thousands of people. It’s all a farce.

Not one person behind these reports has remotely good intentions—quite the opposite, in fact. Since these articles have been released, my family and I have received constant death threats and nonstop racist harassment. Multiple members of my family have been harassed and we now have been forced to take extra security measures for our safety.

This was the goal... divide and conquer. But I will not allow it to define or distract me for one more day and hope that all of you reading this will move on with me. I have promised my wife, kids, extended family, and friends that this will be the last time I talk about this publicly for a long time. My work has never been about me and I've never made a big deal about my race. I've actually tried hard to avoid ever making a big deal out of it and have, instead, simply tried to do good work that matters. I'm eager to get back to the cause that concerns me most.

My focus will continue to be ending police brutality. I believe it is the pre-eminent civil rights issue of modern America and that, together, we can fight against it effectively.

I can imagine how pissed off he is and I hope he and those rallying
alongside or behind him can use that anger constructively.

All he did was put in print what was obvious from looking at him and looking at his birth certificate. Why couldn't you just leave it at what was plainly apparent from looking at his picture?

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And to believe that at won point for the future I wanted that kind of recognition on social media as an "activist".

Nah b, Ima try my best to keep my community outreach with the people who need it. No need to show off to the world, cuz that's where the issues begin. The more you're out there, the easier it is for folks to dig stuff up about you. And even if you don't have dirt, they will still try to crucify you.

Keep it sealed like Questo and Black Thought have done and continue to do (GrassROOTS is a BEAUTIFUL org). And Jay also.

But of course, when you try to keep low key, people accuse you of not doing anything or not doing "enough".

Moral of the story is: when you're in the eye of the public, no matter how many thousands of followers or supporters you have, please try your best to be true to yourself and don't do nothing shiesty. Because it will be exposed. So be genuine... And when the time comes for the common people to have the inclination to investigate, they won't find jack squat.

And receipts=bail

Totally agree.

You have to be bulletproof to be in the public eye..especially in this social media age..or expect to have your past dug up..

I can't say I feel sorry for Shaun though...I salute him for his work but he had to expect this.

Let folks be distracted by all the other bullshit and quietly work in the communities to improve the people which will improve their conditions and ultimately their way of life. If done right black folks in particular could really catch the system of white supremacy sleeping.

Nah I think he's a good dude. I think the conservative media is trying to discredit him so they can discredit the Black Lives Matter movement. Its the same thing they did with the Panthers. Its just that the government isn't behind it this time.

Its sad.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/08/20/1413881/-Race-love-hate-and-me-A-distinctly-American-story#


Race, love, hate, and me: A distinctly American story

Over the past 72 hours I have been attacked with lies by the conservative media, lies that have been picked up by the traditional media and spread further. I have kept silent at the advice of friends and mentors, but I will do so no longer.
The reports about my race, about my past, and about the pain I’ve endured are all lies. My mother is a senior citizen. I refuse to speak in detail about the nature of my mother’s past, or her sexual partners, and I am gravely embarrassed to even be saying this now, but I have been told for most of my life that the white man on my birth certificate is not my biological father and that my actual biological father is a light-skinned black man. My mother and I have discussed her affair. She was a young woman in a bad relationship and I have no judgment. This has been my lived reality for nearly 30 of my 35 years on earth. I am not ashamed of it, or of who I am—never that—but I was advised by my pastor nearly 20 years ago that this was not a mess of my doing and it was not my responsibility to fix it. All of my siblings and I have different parents. I'm actually not even sure how many siblings I have. It is horrifying to me that my most personal information, for the most nefarious reasons, has been forced out into the open and that my private past and pain have been used as jokes and fodder to discredit me and the greater movement for justice in America. I resent that lies have been reported as truth and that the obviously racist intentions of these attacks have been consistently downplayed at my expense and that of my family.

For my entire life, I have held the cards of my complicated family history very close to my chest. I preferred to keep it that way and deeply resent that I have been forced to authenticate so many intimate details of my life to prove who I really am. This, in and of itself, is a form of violence. The same sources who falsely reported my family history—including Breitbart, the Daily Caller, and The Blaze—have also falsely reported that my wife and I were never in a brutal car accident, that I lied about how many kids we have (we have 5 now, but have had more/less because we've fostered, adopted, housed many of our nieces and nephews), that I lied about my race to get a scholarship from Oprah, that I lied about how many back surgeries I’ve had, and more. All of those things were completely and totally false, but have simply been ignored at my expense. I don’t know why this shocks me, but it does.

Let me share some of my peculiar American story about race, my unwavering love for my mother, and my gratitude for an entire community of people who’ve walked with me through this for my entire life.

When I was 8 years old and in the second grade, black children first began asking me if I was “mixed.” In our house, my white mother, the sweetest woman ever and one of the best friends I’ve ever had, didn’t talk much about race. Most white families don’t. It’s part of the privilege. I didn’t even know what “mixed” was. This isn’t a secret. I’ve told this story publicly in front of thousands of people.

After that day when I was first asked if I was mixed, while I was still a very young child, kids and their well-intentioned parents began telling me they knew who my black father was, that I was so and so’s cousin, etc. This was in small-town Versailles, Kentucky, in the 1980s. It happened regularly for years on end. While I didn’t have an understanding of the national dialogue on interracial children, I knew even as a young child that what people were telling meant something very peculiar and unflattering about my mother. I was aware at how different I looked than my siblings, but didn’t understand DNA or genealogy. They were my family and I loved them.

I adored my mother so much then, that I just didn’t have the nerve to ever bring these things up to her. I was a child and loved our care-free relationship. She had been married and divorced several times and by the time I was in second grade she was raising my brother and me as a single mom. By the time I reached middle school, I fully identified myself not even as biracial, but just as black. Of course, that was an oversimplification of my story, but that was what made sense at that time. Adults who loved and knew me, on many occasions sat me down and told me that I was black. As you could imagine, this had a profound impact on me and soon became my truth.

Every friend I had was black, my girlfriends were black, I was seen as black, treated as black, and endured constant overt racism as a young black teenager. Never have I once identified myself as white. Not on forms, not for convenience or privilege, and not for fun and games, have I ever identified myself as white. I was never a white guy pretending to be black. Not once, ever, did it occur to me that I was being phony or fraudulent or fake. Quite the opposite—I always believed I was living the truest form of my self.

My freshman year in high school, another student and I got into a huge fight at a football game. The fight ended up setting off a powder keg of racial tensions at our school. The school paper back then referred to me as black and him as white. We were suspended for three days and while we were out, racial tensions boiled over so much that hundreds of white students staged a walkout because they had just been banned from wearing Confederate flags.

When I returned to school from that suspension, the collective anger of the racist white students was focused on me daily. Dozens of my close friends experienced this racist hate alongside me and it broke us down in the worst ways. I was consistently called nigger, spat on, had a jar of tobacco spit thrown in my face, forced into fights, and on two different occasions chased by pickup trucks attempting to maul us. In 2007, one of the students in one of those trucks wrote me a beautiful, moving apology for calling me a nigger and more on that scary dark night. I published it back then.

In March of 1995, it all boiled over and a racist mob of nearly a dozen students beat me severely, first punching me from all sides, then, when I cradled into a fetal position on the ground they stomped me mercilessly, some with steel-toed boots, for about 20 seconds. That day changed the entire trajectory of my life. Thankfully, multiple credible, unbiased eyewitnesses to this traumatic day have come out publicly and spoken on my behalf in the past 48 hours. A few days after I was assaulted, I was at home recovering when a group of rednecks literally pulled up in my driveway at night, but were chased off by a neighbor with a big flashlight. That neighbor just posted his memory of it.

I had fractures in my face and ribs, but most badly damaged was my spine. I ended up having three spinal surgeries and missed 20 months of school over it. My entire family endured this deeply painful time in my life ranging from the surgeries, the brutal recovery, physical therapy, and professional counseling. It was rougher than my words will ever do justice. Many people have said that in the police report it listed me as white—as if I checked the box and that was some deep admission. Today, that officer admitted to the New York Times that I never said I was white, but that he assumed so when he saw my mother. He and the school badly mishandled my case. We sued the school system for years because of their mishandling of it. They fought it tooth and nail and my mother and I eventually just gave up on it.

Rev. Willis Polk, a local pastor, and my best friend's father, visited and prayed with me often during those surgeries. I became a Christian during my recovery. I was baptized and preached my first sermons as a high school teenage minister in the black church. Rev. Polk, his son Willis, and I toured HBCU’s together in 1996 and we knew that Morehouse College in Atlanta was the only place for us. We loved it.

Again, this wasn’t me sneaking into Morehouse as an undercover white man. I was 17 and my racial identity was fully formed. I knew who I was. I wasn’t appropriating or faking, but living out my life. During this entire time, my mother and I had an unspoken understanding about my race. Her past, in a sense, was taboo for me, and I had honestly moved on from even wanting to know the details of who she slept with in January of 1979. I sincerely didn’t care and had compartmentalized it deep in my mind and moved on the best I could.

To be clear, I received a full academic and leadership scholarship to attend Morehouse College based on my grades and my leadership skills. I love Morehouse. It helped me heal from the brokenness of my past and my very best friendships and bonds were formed there. When I was forced to leave Morehouse to have yet another spinal surgery, I lost that scholarship and was then offered a scholarship from Oprah Winfrey when I returned to complete my studies. She wanted it to be for “diamonds in the rough” and that was pretty much who I was at that point. I didn’t apply for it. Nobody does. The college selects brothers who need it and I was, very gratefully, chosen for it.

Since finishing Morehouse nearly 15 years ago, I have consistently and publicly shared my complicated story as an interracial child, facing the pressures of racism in an environment that lacked little intelligence or compassion about it. A part of this story has always been that I never chose to be black/interracial. Not only was it chosen for me by birth, but white students and staff fundamentally rejected me. Furthermore, the black community, my peers, their parents, and local black leaders, seeing that I was, in essence, a kid without a community, embraced me in the deepest, most soul-soothing ways. My wife, who has been with me since we were both in high school, has walked with me through this every step of the way and shared her story here earlier today.

Outside of my mother’s home, as a kid I lived a deeply black experience. Black families invited me to attend vacation Bible school. I attended black family reunions where old people would come up and pinch my cheeks and tell me who I looked like in their family. I went to black skate parties, black block parties/festivals, and did so not as a white intruder, but as a Karl Kani wearing, widely welcomed, light-skinned black kid. I soaked up every moment I had as I was fully, unabashedly loved, even doted upon, by black families throughout central Kentucky. It was a refuge for me and also a rite of passage of sorts. In high school I joined exclusively black achievers groups. With scholars I love and respect to this day at the University of Kentucky, I attended and helped plan King Day events, and just lived my life.

Until this past week, never has anyone asked me who my father was during these 35 years of mine. It occurs to me now that I’ve never asked anyone that question either. It’s an odd question, and, in my case, has a complicated, deeply personal answer, but one that I have actually seen lived out many other times. I have walked other people very close to my wife and I through what it is like to find out that the person you believed was your father actually isn’t. This is a pretty common thing.

I now see pictures of all of our young children, distant relatives, and even people who I am not actually related to spread across the internet in an attempt to shame us somehow. This is disgusting. I want to be clear. I love my family. I have never, not once, hidden or been ashamed of my family. They are my biggest supporters and defenders and always have been. Most of the pictures people have shared to prove that I am white actually came from my own social media accounts that I have shared to hundreds of thousands of people. It’s all a farce.

Not one person behind these reports has remotely good intentions—quite the opposite, in fact. Since these articles have been released, my family and I have received constant death threats and nonstop racist harassment. Multiple members of my family have been harassed and we now have been forced to take extra security measures for our safety.

This was the goal... divide and conquer. But I will not allow it to define or distract me for one more day and hope that all of you reading this will move on with me. I have promised my wife, kids, extended family, and friends that this will be the last time I talk about this publicly for a long time. My work has never been about me and I've never made a big deal about my race. I've actually tried hard to avoid ever making a big deal out of it and have, instead, simply tried to do good work that matters. I'm eager to get back to the cause that concerns me most.

My focus will continue to be ending police brutality. I believe it is the pre-eminent civil rights issue of modern America and that, together, we can fight against it effectively.

i'm if you look at her circle there and other people on the "board" for BLM, they are talking shit about Deray, Netta and the rest for the Campaign Zero website. It's so pathetic. First they get mad at Deray for hitting up Bernie, when it's not like they were getting mad at the SCLC, NAACP, ACLU, or any other group working on police brutality for meeting with Bernie and his people. Then they're mad that Deray and nem put up a website judging the candidates when it's actually the lazy media who wants to put every police accountability action that any young black person takes under the banner of BLM. I don't understand why they're so defensive about someone coopting the name, when they've clearly coopted the work of the activists in Ferguson who are putting their lives on the line and aren't members of BLM.

Thats what's killing me; you can't have your cake and eat it too.

You want to be a organization with 26 chapters and a board? Awesome, get that organized and come out with a C-O-N-C-I-S-E action plan. Don't get mad when people ask you for one also, because an organization is expected to have solid goals and plans to get there.

If you want to be move of a movement with no central power, then anyone should be able to push things forward and nobody should get mad if they kind of get pushed in the banner because at the end of the day there's a 95% overlap anyway.

Seems they just got mad at Bernie's people calling Deray #BLM and took it from there. It's just shitty ass politics and makes me give them all the side eye considering that many of the people on the ground originally, like you pointed out, have no fucking clue what a #BLM is. They just want police brutality to stop in their communities, they aren't working on their resume for future non-for profit jobs.

not that they won't be in the future.

It's due to the Justice Together fiasco. He says King is pretty much about himself first and foremost.

I kind of like King as a writer, but I understand the criticisms.
